Kelly Brook reveals fears she’s left it too late to have children

Former model tells Loose Women she always had other priorities

Kelly Brook has achieved a lot in her 38 years on this earth.

The Kent-born star has presented The Big Breakfast, been a judge on Strictly, topped FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World, and dated Hollywood A-listers Jason Statham and Billy Zane.

But the brunette beauty revealed on today’s Loose Women that she fears focusing on her career means she may have left it too late to have a child.

Kelly told Ruth Langsford, Linda Robson and Lisa Riley that when she was younger, her priorities lay elsewhere.

She said: “I think coming from a very working-class family and seeing my mum and dad struggle for so many years, it was very much a case of being independent, having my own money and buying my own house.

“I spent so much of my time focused on my career and making money that having a family was left behind.”

The former model did get pregnant – unexpectedly – at the age of 30, when she was still with her ex-fiance, rugby player Thom Evans.

But tragically, Kelly had a miscarriage six months into her term. And now she voiced worries that she may have missed the parenting boat.

She explained on Loose Women: “Now I’m in my late-30s, I wish I’d thought more about having children earlier, because I do feel like now I’m up against it.

“Yes, I’ve got money and I’ve got my own home and I’ve got my independence and all these amazing things, but I don’t have children and I haven’t got married.

“If I’d known in my 20s how difficult having children would be in my 30s, I think I would’ve made different choices.

“I think women think they can go through their life and have a baby whenever they want. Some can and some can’t, and I don’t think I realised that. I got so caught up in my world.

“And now I don’t even know if I’m going to be able to carry a baby. I don’t know if that’s in my future.”

Kelly is currently in a relationship with model Jeremy Parisi.
